I have not seen something like this before. Those of you who reads Kenny Sia’s Blog would have known about this. But really, some uncle stealing in Pavillion KL, SUPER dodgy!! So you have been warned, actually I have been warned. Next time I shop in KL, I better keep my eyes wide open , and hold my bags real tight and close. I suggest the same to all you successful Air Asia Bargain Hunter , to be careful when you go on your holidays !!
I have so much to update but too tired…one at a time la ok!! xoxo…
Nine West, I never told you how I truly feel
Hiding my feelings is far from ideal
Love is our connection
To you I dedicate all my affection
Nine West, you are unbelievably beautiful
For you I would risk dying in duel
The moment I saw you my heart was sold
We fit together like a nut and bolt
Nine West, you mean so much to me
I never knew this could be
My love is so strong, it makes me fly
You are so beautiful, like the most beautiful sky
This My Feet is for you, I hope you will like it
I am dying to see your reaction, that I will admit
This poem has come to an end
Remember that, without you, my heart feels bent
DIsclaimer: Im not serious…ok!!! well maybe there is some truth in it…=p
The US giant announced last week that it would close 61 of its 84 Australian outlets by Sunday, saying “challenges unique to the Australian market” were behind the decision, which cost almost 700 jobs.
Starbucks Asia Pacific president John Culver was more forthcoming about why the company was on the retreat in Australia, eight years after opening its first store in Sydney.
“I think what we’ve seen is that Australia has a very sophisticated coffee culture,” he said in a newspaper interview.
Starbucks also closed 600 stores in the United States early last month in a move widely seen as a response to belt-tightening among customers less inclined to spend money on luxuries like coffee in tough economic times.
Commentators have suggested similar problems hit Starbucks in Australia, but the queues outside the Met Cafe in central Sydney on a recent windy winter’s day indicated many customers were not yet ready to sacrifice their coffee hit.
Met Cafe owner Brendan Smart said Starbucks had expanded too quickly in Australia.
“A few years ago there weren’t that many of them and they seemed to be going OK, but then all of a sudden, they were everywhere,” he told AFP.
“Some city blocks had three Starbucks on them — it’s crazy.”
Smart said many customers had told him they did not want to buy their coffee from a corporate giant and those who had tried Starbucks were not impressed by the product, saying it did not compare with the numerous local brews available.
“What we do isn’t rocket science, I’m the first to admit that, but you’ve got to have a passion for coffee that involves everything from grinding the beans to operating the machine,” he said.
“You go into Starbucks and it’s full of teenagers behind the counter. I’d question whether they have that passion.”
Starbucks now plans to streamline its operation to 23 stores in Australia’s largest cities Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
PAINTBALL!! - They should also call it PAINBALL!!! haha..
It was so much fun!! Even now as I look at the bruises on my skin and feel the pain,I know I wanna play this again! This time around, I got shot twice same spot on my arm, 1 spot on each leg. My very first experience, I give myself a pat on the back!! =)
Plenty of Makan Session!! Food Food Food…and Plenty of Fellowship. Too much of eating out, I would love to eat at home, it feels so nice to cook dinner, watch some shows, do some housework and go to bed early.
My old Remington Hair Straightning Iron died lately, so I had to buy a new one, and I got a good bargain. Paid $40 for a $100 straightener which is a limited edition one that comes in nice box.Happy Clappy!!
I went to the movies today to watch ”The Dark Knight” . It was good!! =)
I am still on the quest for my three phone…arghh…which one which one??
My new fav singer 盧廣仲..Im so gonna play his songs on my pc whenever I can.
Chee..I think I found my fav. guy artist that is like your david tao- not good looking but sings well.
Phylia- you know how you say you would marry 蕭敬騰, just because of his angelic voice- I think I am tempted to say the same.
Haha…OMG OMG…I love this guy la…seriously his voice/singing style!! Clean and nice. Gosh..if only someone around me can sing like this, I seriously would have jello knees. OK, he does looks geeky but who cares..he sounds angelic to me and he is super talented!! Chee, when r we singing K??? I wanna sing his songs…haha.
Somehow, preparing myself to sing later for an item at a meeting later, I realised the similarity of the singers I like. Like Im so crazy about Brooke Fraser, Mia Palencia, Sara Bereilles, Khalil Fong - they have something in common. I think I know now. =)
Lately, dear friends around me are facing the giants in their life. Everyday we all face different kinds of challenges, and struggles, but one thing I know that I can find renewed strenght , hope and peace each day. I hope this songs brings you dear friends the reassurance/encouragement you need, that the victory is ours! love you all.
its actually 3am right now,as I am writting this entry. Reason being, I feel sick….like the colour green. I was awaken by an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach, I felt like puking. I hold myself together, and walk into the freezing bathroom and behold, without another second to fully wake myself up, I vomitted my whole entire dinner plus dessert. Great! I smell like my puke. i got to clean the mess and myself up at freaking 3am. I still feel pretty sick….l pray tat no more….no more! I better go lie down….or grab a sick bag. sigh. I gotta go work tml …it sucks!
Its been long…I feel like I forgotten how to blog or hardly even remember blogging was what I like to do best..when I have alot going on, good or bad. Back track alil…my birthday was awesome! God knew my deepest thoughts, He knew what I needed the most and he provided more than what I dare to wish for. The day to celebrate my birth went on more than just 24 hours, it went on for days and weeks. I was scared to be alone on this day, to be forgotten, to be the same like I was yesterday, and to feel nothing. I could only say, it was God pouring out his blessing onto me. I had the best food in the past weeks- from expensive fine dining, to goumet to hearty meals …
(Good food & great company ,never fails to put a big smile on my face)
My birthday gifts was all unexpected and heart felt - I was truly touched. The many birthday wishes and blessings but most importantly God’s gift was perfect in every way, he gave me exactly what I needed the most - my job.
My most unimaginable surprise was having yuen mei here in Adelaide, staying with me, going out for coffee & chit chatting like we always do in Malaysia. Girl, I am glad you came…Missing you already!
Despite the high in the past weeks, I feel like I am lost for words recently. I wonder if the demands of living took away all my energy. Sleep has never been so precious to me and the feeling of warmth and chocolates have never felt and tasted that good. This winter is so cool and sometimes cruel. 48 hours ago, I felt like crying. I felt deep down I fail. I don’t want to elaborate but seriously it hit something inside me. Anyways, from the looks of this entry…I seemed to be jumping everywhere, forgive me, my thoughts are scattered.
This year, I promised myself that I will stand up strong, face life with honesty, & to not waste a single second on things that pulls me down.
Gravity
(::I wish I could fly away somewhere, but gravity is pulling me down:: )
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I’ll still feel you here ’til the moment I’m gone.
You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.
Set me free, leave me be. I don’t want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I’m supposed to be.
But you’re on to me and all over me.
You loved me ’cause I’m fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.
I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you’re everything I think I need here on
The ground.
But you’re neither friend nor foe though I can’t seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you’re keeping me down
1. I had a small girls gathering on last friday, ordered some vietnamese takeaway from a very famous restaurant. Rented “Breakfast at Tiffanys” Dvd . I must say, the movie was wayyy….overrated, it wasn’t all romantic at all not to mentioned, not my kind of chick flick but the company was great, though we didn’t do much, just sit down have some good food, a few laughs, small chats and wrapping ourselves up in blankets and watch dvds.
Look at the amount of food on the table!! HAHA.
2. Send Phylia’s mom off to the airport. Had lunch with Phylia at Ikea and went on shopping. I didn’t spend on anything but Phylia had some nice buys..helped put together her book shelve. She said I was more excited than she was…haha!
3. Rented this movie called “AWAKE” …I tell you, this is one good triller….
